How To Prevent Sports Injuries To The Hands And Fingers

How can I prevent sports injuries to the hands and fingers?

Preventing sports injuries to the hands and fingers is really difficult. In basketball or any ball sport where an object is being thrown at the hand with a rapid rate, you're likely to get fractures along the fingers, tears of ligaments, and tears of tendons. Sometimes if you do have an injury, buddy taping the hand is an important way to prevent the injuries. Sports injuries in the hand in boxers or in martial artists come from striking with the small portion of the hand, the small fingers, fourth and fifth, as opposed to striking with the prominent knuckles, the first and second.
